Open Source Development Lab

The Open Source Development Lab (OSDL) was an organization established to support the development of open-source software, particularly around Linux. It brought together businesses and developers to collaborate on advancing open-source technology, enhancing its reliability, usability, and performance. OSDL aimed to foster innovation through community-driven projects, ultimately benefiting industries that rely on free and accessible software. The lab played a crucial role in promoting the adoption of open-source solutions in various sectors, signaling the growing importance of collaborative software development in the technology landscape. It eventually merged with the Linux Foundation, continuing its mission under that organization.
